The String Cheese Incident kicked off their Electric Forest campaign with their first of three shows at the Rothbury, MI festival, welcoming two guests and debuting a new cover.

First up was a sit in from saxophonist Grant Kwiecinski, better known as GRiZ, who came up to help out with “Cold Sweat” near the end of the first set. In the second frame, trumpeter Russell Scott, aka Russ Liquid, joined SCI for “Impressions.” The group rounded out the night with a cover of “Cake by the Ocean” by Joe Jonas’ DNCE.

String Cheese Incident will return to the Electric Forest stage today.
